Weasel tongue!
Please enjoy this video of a lady giving her pet weasel belly rubs.
Welp, the last of the chicken houses went on the pile today. Shame prevents me showing you a picture of Garbage Mountain – I had to take snapshots to get a quote from the removals man. It was a pretty amazing pile when all the outside junk was rounded up. In our defense, we inherited some of it from the previous owners.
Or does that make it worse somehow?
I did, as advised, keep the pole that propped up the whole end of the chicken house on for years. It seemed too heroic an object to send to the dump.

Is that a baby or are weasels that small?

Oh say can you see
Through the misty morn air
The coop where where they roosted
Made of broken lawn chairs
And a tarpaulin and bricks
Wedged up with the odd stick
Made a roof the just might
Keep the chickens in there.
Oh say will that old broomstick still lean
As the last piece of coop trash
In the yard that that’s been cleaned?
I tell ya, if they didn’t make me take all this medication I coulda BEEN somebody.

And now you have one coop and one rooster, and two hens? Is that right? I can’t keep up.

Yes, one coop, one elderly rooster, two young hens. Spring chickens, even.
Aelf, I don’t know if that’s a fully grown least weasel, but they really are that small. We had one in the woodpile a couple of years ago. Uncle B saw it. I had to sit out there in a lawnchair waiting to see it myself. And I did. Not much bigger than a mouse.

I’d always pictured them as larger.
Hope your wait by the woodpile was in fair weather.
Adorable little thing.
